The GasComm® Control Module (GCM) is a simple and affordable method for SCADA networks to interface and import the GasComm sensor array data into a SCADA network without security risk or protocol upsets.
Sensor Interface
The GCM is designed to be used with the Enetics GasComm sensor array and may be used as a single or dual channel recorder. The GCM can also interface the Enetics high accuracy pressure/temperature sensors. The GCM can interface with one or two pressure sensors, one or two GasComm sensors or a combination of pressure sensors and GasComm sensors. This solution provides users with a wide range of monitoring options.
Collecting Data
The GCM can be polled asynchronously using Modbus protocols by the existing utlity RTU system. This allows data collection as required to conform with existing SCADA system security protocols. Alarm thresholds are defined and recognized by the existing utility SCADA system.
Packaging
The GasComm Control Module is packaged into a small NEMA 6/IP67 polycarbonate enclosure weighing less than two pounds. Provisions for mounting and locking are included.
